-- Pro-gay marriage (I'm not gay and have no friends/family that are gay.  It's just that I don't see what the big deal is.)

-- Pro-animal rights legislation

-- In favor of legalization of all drugs (could this be considered a "liberal" position?)

-- In favor of allowing abortion in cases of rape, incest, or danger to life of the mother

-- Opposed to a Right to Life Amendment (I am pro-life but think it should be left up to the states)

-- Conflicted when it comes to foreign policy, not sure where I stand (though I guess you can't really put a Conservative lablel on foreign policy right now)

-- Conflicted on capital punishment.

Maybe you should change to yellow?

Maybe, but I support the PATRIOT Act.  And I think Roe v. Wade was a horrible decision.  I guess I'm a fiscal conservative above all else, and base only the tiniest portion of my vote on social issues.  Personally, I think all capital- L Libertarians would be better served by voting for Republican presidential candidates.

P.S.  I edited my previous post to add the fact that I'm undecided on capital punishment.

--Pro-universal healthcare.
--Pro-progressive taxation
--Pro-gay marriage
--Anti-war on drugs.
--Pro-legalizing prostitution (only if it's very heavily regulated).
--Pro-4th amendment.

     That's all I can think of for now.

Out of curiosity, where do you stand on the Patriot Act?
